Summary Simple phenotypic, genotypic and environmental correlation coefficients were calculated from one year's data for nine characters in F1 seedlings of 72 crosses and 18 parents of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Crosses were made in a line x tester model having 12 female lines and six male testers. The experiment was designed as a randomized block replicated three times at Kufri, Simla (India) during the 1979–80 crop season. Positive phenotypic and genotypic correlations of 1000-TPS weight were found with total tuber yield, number of leaves on the main shoot, number of shoots per plant and harvest index. The results suggest that 1000-TPS weight could be used when attempting to select for yield and other characters in F1 seedlings.
